Who goes here?

Here's a look at how the student population has changed over time at
Academy of Science and Innovation and in schools
statewide.

School-level and state-level data
from State Department of Education, EdSight

Who teaches here?

Here's how the student body at Academy of Science and Innovation compares with the staff in
terms of race and ethnicity. Missing data means the number of students is
very small and is suppressed by the state for reasons of student privacy.

Data from Connecticut State Department of Education, EdSight

When you see two dashes (--), that means data is unavailable, typically
because data on small groups is suppressed by the state, citing
privacy.

English-language learners

This shows the percentage of students who were classified as
English-language learners, or ELLs.

ELL enrollment data from State Department of Education, EdSight.

ELL students per teacher

There were 456 English-language learner students and
10 teachers specially trained
to work with this population in
Capitol Region Education Council,
according to data from
2016-17. Here's how that student-teacher ratio
compares with similar districts
and the statewide average.

TESOL and bilingual teachers differ in instructional practice. TESOL is
english-only and teachers are trained to use visuals and other supports to
help English learners. Bilingual teachers know two languages, and use both
of them to teach and translate materials for students.

Bilingual and TESOL educator count from trial exhibit from
2016-17; ratio is based
on educator count and enrollment data from State Department of
Education, EdSight.

High-need students

Students from low-income families qualify for free or reduced-price
lunch. Income thresholds for the program vary based on family size. According
to
2016-17 guidelines, a family of three with a gross
income of just over $26,200 would qualify for free lunch, and a family
of three with an income of around $37,200 would qualify for
reduced-price meals.

School grade: Zero-to-100 score

Each year, the state grades every school. The state’s grading system
called "NextGen" is based on more than a dozen different measures,
including how many students are chronically absent, enrolled in arts
and Advanced Placement college-prep courses and graduate from high
school. The largest weight is given to test scores.

Smarter Balanced testing

The Smarter Balanced test replaced CAPT and CMT testing for measuring
student performance. It's aligned with the Common Core curriculum. High
school juniors in 2015-16 began taking the SAT in lieu of this test.

Bar charts show the percentage of students whose test results showed
they were at grade level or above in the subject.

Are English learners catching up?

The state has set an expectation that English learners should improve
their scores on standardized English and math tests by at least 3
percent each year. Below are the results of how many students met that
target between the 2014-15 and 2015-16 school years.

Why is some data missing?

Data might be missing for a number of reasons: It might not exist; or
it might be suppressed for privacy reasons because it represents a very
small group of students, for instance. Here are more
details on why some school profiles don't have as much data as others.
